Silly Sick Notes for Kids
Here is a popular forward on supposedly real sick notes from parents to teachers.
1. My son is under a doctor’s care and should not take PE today. Please execute him.

Picking a baby name
Really, for a writer/blogger, I need to update more.
We found out that Baby Sexton is going to be a boy. I’m going to have a son and though I would have bet $100 I was having a girl, having a boy is fine with me.I have said since day one that as long as the baby is healthy, I don’t care what it is. Something about realizing I’m going to be a father really made the sex of the baby irrelevant.
Naming your baby
Maybe this is more of a girl thing than a guy thing. My wife has been looking through baby name books for months. She has a note book where she writes in all the names that she likes. She kept asking me when I was going to start looking at names and the ultra procrastinator in me just kept saying “Next week”. I don’t have a name that I NEED to use. Some people have that name they have wanted to use since before they are married. I am not one of them. With a name like mine, I can appreciate the need for a good baby name. There are hundreds of books about picking a name with historical references, statistics of how popular the names are and even one that has names broken up based on astrological signs. It seems like the baby name book market has no boundries.
What to name MY baby
Knowing that I’m having a son makes the decision a bit easier since now I can focus on boy names but that really doesn’t make it any easier. I have an ODD name, sure my parents could have named me John or Sam but they didn’t. As much as I hated it growing up, having a different name has helped me in ways that I have grown to appreciate as I have gotten older. Name recognition has served as my calling card. You really can’t confuse me with anyone. Because of this, I feel strongly about having a different name for my son. I don’t feel like giving them a name that is going to be the butt of jokes for the rest of their life but then again kidsw are mean and no matter whhat you name your kid, someone is going to make fun of it. Giving them a differnt name than the norm is all I really want.
So my delema is this, how can I pick a different name without it being something that is going to make them the joke of their class?
5 Moments That Define a Man

Being a kid is a blast. Unfortunately, we grow up, and things change. Our actions in everyday situations become more difficult, and ultimately define our character. For my male readers, how will you handle these 5 moments that define a man?
#1 – Choosing to Marry
This moment comes long before you pop the question. Ask yourself not whether you’ll still want to sleep with her in 20 years (you will), but how you’ll react when you discover what foul brand of sugar and spice she’s truly made of. A promising answer: “We’re still a pretty good team.”
#2 – Becoming a Father
There are tons of fatherhood variables, but we do know one simple truth: The only times you’ll suck at being a dad are the moments you refuse to put your kids’ needs first. If you’re ready to prioritize them consistently, you’ll cruise.
#3 – Receiving Your First Real Defeat
We don’t mean losing to Springfield during your sophomore year. The adult defeats – job losses, divorces, family estrangements – are the ones that cut deep into the ego, because they spotlight failure of temper, character, and adaptability. Are you able to limp to your feet, spit the turf out of your mouth, and smile with your two front teeth missing? You’d better be. People rally around that guy.
#4 – Becoming an Orphan
The day both your mom and pop are officially planted is a defining one. No more training. No more advice. No more free meals on Thanksgiving Day. It’s your turn to be the example at the head of the table. You don’t have to wear a cardigan when you carve the turkey, but you do have to take up the knife. Don’t cut yourself.
#5 – Realizing You Don’t Know Everything
The younger you are when you experience this moment of clarity, the better. It means you’ll be humbler in the face of knowledge – that’s a good thing. It also means you’ll have more years to quest, to learn, to figure out everything from options trading to tying a tighter fly. You ain’t stupid, sir. But you ain’t God, either.

How to be a daddy update
‘m already off to a bad start on how to be a daddy. It’s been almost been a month since my last post and that almost constitutes for child neglect for my blog. I manage a few different sites and the priority has been on them instead of this. Priorities have changed.

More posts
I’m going to make every effort to post more than twice a week moving forward. Though I have not been posting often, I have been trolling around many baby blogs and found some great stuff that I’d like to include to the site.
Since Baby Sexton is only 18 weeks along and the size of a bell pepper, it was not “real” to me. Once we found out the sex of the baby (future post coming) things were put into a new perspective.
I see that the blog has been getting traffic and though that’s not the primary focus of this site, I want to make my readers happy and chronicle the journey I am going on from being a new father.
My smart baby has a brain – Week 8
I am a bit behind on the posts. We are at week 10 so I am playing catch up. The big news from week 8 is that the baby is forming knees and lung pathways. Oh..ya, the brain is developing too. Because we all know my child is going to be a genius. 
New this week: Webbed fingers and toes are poking out from your baby’s hands and feet, his eyelids practically cover his eyes, breathing tubes extend from his throat to the branches of his developing lungs, and his “tail” is just about gone. In his brain, nerve cells are branching out to connect with one another, forming primitive neural pathways. You may be daydreaming about your baby as one sex or the other, but the external genitals still haven’t developed enough to reveal whether you’re having a boy or a girl. Either way, your baby — about the size of a kidney bean — is constantly moving and shifting, though you still can’t feel it.
I like how the baby center explains this stuff. It’s easy for me to picture the little bean in my wifes belly but it makes eating food a bit disconcerning when I see something that has beans and I think I am ingesting thousands of little babies. Strange I know but that’s just how it is.
I love my Blueberry Baby – Week 7
Doubling in size and growing new parts, the little one is taking shape. I find it strange that I am so fascinated with this process but it just amazes me that we have such a vast amount of resources that an explain the entire incubation period of my little alien.
The big news this week: Hands and feet are emerging from developing arms and legs — although they look more like paddles at this point than the tiny, pudgy extremities you’re daydreaming about holding and tickling. Technically, your baby is still considered an embryo and has something of a small tail, which is an extension of her tailbone. The tail will disappear within a few weeks, but that’s the only thing getting smaller. Your baby has doubled in size since last week and now measures half an inch long, about the size of a blueberry.

Size of a blueberry and looks more like an alien every day. Mommy is doing well, mild symptoms but nothing severe. She does have this extra glow about her that I hear is normal. We started getting baby name books. were are still undecided if we want to know if it is a boy or a girl but we have a little while before that needs to be decided.
A mothers worst nightmare
I have a post coming very soon about the first ultrasound and my experience at an OB/GYN. Really, I never thought I’d find myself in a situation with my wife in a clinical setting like that. But in the mean time, here is a funny comic I found.
